Birthday Party-scrapbook style

well, today I did my first scrapbook birthday party for 6 11-12 year olds. They had a blast and each book reflected the personality of it's creator. I think for all of them it was their first scrapbook, and I think for a couple of them it's the start of a new hobby.

I wish I had started scrapbooking when I was a kid or even as a teen...instead of waiting until I had kids...even now, as much as I love it, I'm not prolific with it...I have tons of pictures and events still to do. I need to work on scheduling time in my scrap room and just sit and work...and let some of the other things wait!

Sounds just like a parent doesn't it?

Yea! Celtics!

we won....I'm so happy...and now I can start going to bed at a normal hour again! As happy as I am I am looking forward to getting my normal 7-8 hours a night instead of 6 hours a night!

And the analysts all thought this would go to game 7....I knew that we would win it tonight. it's so cool to see that Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen all finally get a championship not to mention how great Rondo and Perkins Played....it seriously was a great team this year and I'm happy on behalf of the team and all the loyal fans.

Good night

Go Celtics

Watching game 5 and hoping for another big win on the road....slow start again tonight, but there is always hope as game 4 showed us! I think Kobe wants to single handedly spank our butts. It should be a good game, either way...we only have to win 1 of the next three games, and seeing how 2 of them are in Boston the odds are in our favor.

today has been a lazy day so far...spent the afternoon watching a movie with my daughter. I was going to go work on a couple of layouts for next weekends workshop, but never made it downstairs to the work room...so will have to work on them after work Tuesday and or Wednesday. I need to start being focused...I would like to work on catching up with last years pictures that I didn't scrap, making more cards and coming up with some ideas for my kids crafting club.

It's Already June

I cannot get over how fast time seems to fly. It's been 2 weeks since I last posted...

At the scrapbook expo, I ended up missing 2 of my classes due to stabbing myself in the leg with my exacto knife...the lid had fallen off of it and when I picked up my bag....my leg was in the way...3 hours and 3 stitches later...

We went out for a great seafood meal at Tinker's in Manchester, NH...great food. I treated myself to lobster...figured I had earned it after my ER trip! LOL...any excuse to indulge!

I haven't uploaded any of the pictures I took that weekend but here is another of my projects. I made this card as in invitation to my mom's birthday/retirement party. She didn't totally retire, just retired from working for other people. She and my dad still have their lampshade business, in which she designs, cuts, and paints the lampshades that they sell.
